As a mom of three, the In the Butterfly Gin and Tonic is my dream non-alcoholic cocktail/mocktail for Mother’s Day. With a vibrant, enchanting purple hue and an imaginative garnish, this gives the classic G&T cocktail (my fav by the way!) the sophisticated twist mom deserves. Trust us, you’ll want to make sure you pick up the edible butterflies as well as freeze-dried blueberries to make your drinkable garden come to life.
What is the Monday Zero-Alcohol Gin in our Mother’s Day Mocktail?
You can really use any zero-alcohol gin as an alternative to the traditional. But, we recommend Monday Zero-Alcohol Gin for its smooth texture and perfect taste. It’s basically meant to mimic the flavors of a classic London Dry gin. You’ll find a bold, juniper-forward taste featuring lingering notes of bitter lemon, grapefruit, and then a little coriander. This way, you and mom can enjoy the familiar botanical characteristics of a gin and tonic without any of the alcohol content. Plus, Monday Zero-Alcohol Gin uses natural ingredients and has zero carbs, sugars, and calories, so you can feel good about what you’re drinking.
